Mecklenburg County Solid Waste & Recycling will host its 2nd Annual Touch-a-Truck event on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at Compost Central Disposal & Recycling Center from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. This is a rain-or-shine event.

Entry is FREE! Kids (and the kids at heart) will have the opportunity to touch and explore vehicles from Solid Waste and other local organizations. Attendees can expect to see a tank from the National Guard, a helicopter from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and MORE!

During this event, tours of the facility will be offered, and food vendors will be on-site (more details to come).
